Source Decay <\/i>is the result of our efforts to make the greatest possible sparkling wine from Maine wild blueberries. The pristine fruit is tended by the Brodis family, who have been raising wild blueberries for more than 150 years in the area around Hope, Maine. This dry, graceful wine will develop complexity with long aging.<\/p>\n
